AUTISTIC is... Coherent: Module 8 - Dr. Liliya Wheatcraft

Module 8 of the AUTISTIC syllabus, "AUTISTIC is... Coherent," offers a comprehensive exploration into executive functioning and the concept of central coherence in neurodivergence. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Liliya T. Bakiyeva Wheatcraft, this workshop aims to shed light on the challenges and strategies related to executive function deficits and the integration of sensory and cognitive information in neurodivergent individuals.

• Executive Functioning in Neurodivergence: Dive into the complexities of executive functioning challenges in neurodivergence, including organization, planning, and flexibility.
• Understanding Central Coherence: Explore the concept of central coherence and its impact on how neurodivergent individuals process information and perceive the world.
• Strategies for Support and Improvement: Learn practical strategies to support neurodivergent individuals in enhancing their executive functioning and fostering a more integrated understanding of the world around them.

• Enhanced Understanding: Deepen your understanding of the executive functioning challenges and central coherence differences that affect neurodivergent individuals, providing a foundation for empathy and support.
• Practical Tools: Acquire actionable strategies and tools to assist neurodivergent individuals in overcoming executive function challenges and enhancing their ability to integrate and process information.
• Supportive Techniques: Learn techniques to create environments that support the development of executive functioning skills and promote a holistic understanding of information, fostering greater independence and coherence.

We warmly invite both autistic and neurotypical individuals to this workshop, specifically targeting healthcare professionals, educators, parents, and practitioners with personal experiences of neurodivergence. This session is crafted to be enriching for anyone eager to deepen their understanding of neurodivergence and to enhance their support for neurodivergent individuals across various contexts—be it within professional roles, familial relationships, or educational environments. Join us to expand your knowledge and skills, and to foster a more inclusive and supportive approach to managing anxiety in neurodivergent minds.

This workshop is an essential opportunity for anyone seeking to better understand and support the executive functioning and integration challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals. Secure your place now and contribute to building a more supportive and understanding community for neurodivergent minds.

AUTISTIC is a Unique Learning Framework , combining Evidence-Based Neuroscience and Authentic lived AuDHD experience of Dr Liliya: an Autistic Psychiatrist with ADHD. She builds on her wealth of ND experience as a neurodivergent woman who dedicated years nurturing the skills of diagnosing and taking care of ND individuals, enriched by the experience of raising two ND children in a neurodivergent marriage.

The 10 weekly sessions include the Introductory Session, eight sessions for eight modules, and the final session to conclude the course,: final overview, Q&As (students are encouraged to bring their own scenarios/examples that will be reviewed and presented from the AUTISTIC perspective.

N.B. AUTISTIC Framework is built on the principles of adult learning theory (andragogy); each module is self-contained, but all modules are interconnected, each re-enforcing the learning objectives of other modules, throughout the course. We strongly recommend that you participate in all 8 main workshops of the course (that is, Workshops #2 through #9) to fully benefit from the offered programme.

*The intensive course will be also based on the AUTISTIC Framework, but will emphasise the practical aspect, using Problem - Based Learning (PBL - another common tool in andragogy). The course will be presented using an optimal combination of asynchronous study (microlearning exercises and virtual discussion board) and virtual small group tutorials, led by Dr Liliya.
